Disney and Coach Team Up as Shanghai Disneyland Opens

We’re now just under two days away from Shanghai Disneyland’s grand opening on Thursday, June 16, which will mark both the first new Disney park to open in the last decade and the first to open in mainland China. But if you can't make it in time for the big day, that doesn't mean you have to be left out of the Disney fever: A limited-edition clothing and accessories collaboration between Disney and Coach.

The products debuted at the Coach Soho store in New York and at Colette in Paris last week, and will soon make their way to Coach stores around the world, including the seven locations in Shanghai. Each piece in the line—iterations of signature Coach bags, along with wallets, sneakers, and more—features a variation on the classic Mickey Mouse silhouette, which come together in a minimal, upscale way. These range from modern, deconstructed shapes, like Mickey’s ears capping colorful re-issues of the 1960s-era Kisslock bag, to exclusive illustrations of the beloved character on totes and tees, created by Disney illustrators in an artistic style inspired by Disney archival sketches from the 1940s, the decade in which Coach was founded.

While these collectibles won’t be among the 7,000 Disney-branded items available throughout Shanghai Disneyland, they'll look great on your arm (or back!) as you walk through the 1,000-acre park.
